On the eve of yesterday’s elections, friends and acquaintances began to call me to the Duma and ask about my position. I was not going to go to the polls. Then they began to shame me and reproach me with unwillingness to fulfill their “civic duty”, in the disposal of patriotism (!) And other sins. And in general - “But how so! We must go vote, since the elections. For whom? - For the "Apple"! Moreover, most of these people in the 90s.

United Russia won 91.62% of the votes in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in Mordovia. This was announced by the Chairman of the Central Election Commission of Mordovia, Alexander Kosov, based on the results of processing 100% of the ballots. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation received the support of 4.54% of voters, the Liberal Democratic Party - 1.54%, A Just Russia - 1.29%.

If the official turnout was about 50, then the honest turnout was probably about 40%. The approximate, without falsification, result of the EP is about 30%. This means that a third of 40% is approximately 13%. This means that THEY rule in the name of only 13 percent of voters. And everyone else endures. original

Tuva demonstrated record support for United Russia in Siberia - according to preliminary data from the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, 85.97% of the republic’s residents voted for the party, Interfax reports. "A Just Russia" received 6.01% of the votes, followed by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 3.97%.

The coordinator of the "Left Front" Sergei Udaltsov, who was arrested the day before by the court for five days before participating in an unauthorized rally, went on a dry hunger strike, Interfax reports with reference to the press service of the movement. The oppositionist also filed a complaint against the court's decision, which will be considered today in the Tver Court.

The United Russia party received 90.96% of the votes in Ingushetia in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation held on December 4. The head of the election commission of the republic, Mussa Yevloev, announced this at a press conference in Magas on Monday, December 5. 2.94% of voters voted for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in Ingushetia, A Just Russia received 2.32% of the votes. The Right Cause party received 1.5%.

So, about 33 for EP on GD and OD, about 25 and 27 for SR, respectively. With us. Around the country, United Russia has about 50, thanks to the Caucasus. But in some regions, United Russia has even less than us. What happened to EP? Nothing. Brand fatigue, I wrote about this. Poor unique selling proposition.

Investigators are looking into the circumstances of a road accident in the Kaliningrad region in which a police colonel and his driver died, Interfax reports, citing the press service of the regional Investigative Committee (ICR). According to the department, the head of the Bagrationovsky Department of Internal Affairs, police colonel Alexei Gorelov, and his driver were killed in the accident.

In Kuzbass, the election results are approximately what I expected, with the exception of the very significant failure of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation ( http://commentator40.livejournal.com/323535.html ). That is, "ER" - about 65% of the votes, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 11%, LDPR - 12%, "SR" - about 8%. The data is preliminary, but it is clear that the final ones will not differ too much from them.

“Why is everyone so happy? Increasing the number of deputies from the parties of Zyuganov, Zhirinovsky and Mironov?” – my friend writes on Facebook. Personally, I'm not happy, but I'm satisfied. The elections were important, but the main result of these elections was not the distribution of seats in the State Duma. These elections destroy the myth that the majority will vote for the authorities anyway, and that United Russia, despite everything, enjoys enormous support.

First I'll brag. Two weeks before the elections I wrote: http://k-kiselev.livejournal.com/162789.html , where he accurately predicted 32-33 percent for United Russia and the alignment of parties. As you can see, the results for the Sverdlovsk region coincided almost absolutely. I deliberately kept silent about the percentages for A Just Russia, so as not to cause premature harm. What happened also coincided up to 2 percent. One could rejoice. But the forecast was accurate only at first glance.

Most likely, the authorities will try to distort the protest vote against them. Yes, the Socialist-Revolutionaries are not offended by me, but they are the ones who will most likely be under attack. I assume that they will be forced to sign something like a coalition agreement with United Russia and perhaps be forced to join the Popular Front. It is with this (and plus other methods) that they will want to disrupt the protest vote in the next presidential election.

Let's summarize the preliminary results. Judging by the exit polls, United Russia gained about 23% of the votes. Now they will draw more than 50%, I have no doubt about Mr. Churov’s talents. But we were at the polling stations, we saw and heard everything ourselves. They scored 23%. The remaining 77% came to the polling stations only to prevent swindlers and thieves from stealing their vote. Whether it worked or not is a separate question. But we came and we voted.

Closer to the last elections, the tendency to blame the Internet began to gain momentum in Russian opposition circles. They say people give “likes” instead of going out into the streets, and in general the Internet is a “political demotivator”, an outlet where users let off oppositional steam, throw out frustrations, throw off the ballast of negativity, and, as if nothing had happened, continue to live without doing anything to change the situation in the offline world.

A criminal case has been opened against a resident of the Dolinsky district under Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the fact of attack and beating of an inspector of the Sakhalin-Kuril Territorial Administration (SKTU) of Rosrybolovstvo, Interfax reports a message from the department’s press service.
